How have the soaring gas prices affected your summer plans? (Please choose one.
- We've cancelled our vacation - we can barely afford to go around the corner!
- We're flying to our destination instead of taking our yearly drive, it's cheaper
- We're scaling back our vacation activities to make up for the cost of driving.
- No change in plans - no matter what it costs, we're getting in the car.

we still run around doing things even tho the price of gas in Boston is around $3.05 a gallon! How insane- but life goes on! I bet after summer is over- the prices will strangely start to dip downwards! maybe- maybe not- but that is my thoughts !!

When we were in NY/NE recently, the highest we paid was in NY--$3.33/gal. for regular! Yikes! I came home to $2.73 here. Big difference! Now it's $2.87 at my cheap place.
I'm about to get the money I inherited from my mom. I'm going to run right out & buy a Toyota Prius hybrid before the $3,000 tax credit expires. Yippee!

Would prefer an *other*
Most often we don't let gas prices rule what we want to do.
That being said we don't drive for vacations anymore :)
I test-drove one a long time ago & didn't notice any lack of pickup. Of course, they don't encourage you to test drive on a highway. But I might this time. Just to see how it goes up an on-ramp & goes into thhe flow of traffic.
I'm not one to care a lot about pickup. The Toyota hybrid has 4 cylinders, same as my current Toyota. The Honda hybrid only has 3.

Oh since you already have a Toyota- you will not notice a big difference- that will be good for you ! I was reading in another post of yours that you will probably have to order the car-- I am surprised that they are so popular!
We come from a family of "gear heads' lol love sound, smell and feel of power--sound of a turbo hemi or a Harley all done up is music to my ears !! lol Plus we have 2 turbo deisel trucks-- don't enjoy the smell of deisel !
Good luck to you with your new car- hope you don't have to wait too long to receive it !
Gas prices dont bother me,it's still cheaper here in the U.S.A. than back home in England.
